SENSArIONALISM.

There is disposition in the Uni
ted States, especially with news
paper men, to create a sensation
out of every accident or catastrophe
of any magnitude. They warp ev-
ery detail into horrible story, and
70 distort the facts in many cases as
to make it appear that some horl lille
crime has been schemed and perps>
trated.
The recent catastrophe at Chats
worth, Illinois, in which an excur-
sion train, bearing 600 passengers,
went crashing through a burning
bridge, hurting 100 mel, women,
aud children into eternity is parad-
ed before the public ~ a colossal
robbery scheme. II is clalmol that
the thieves divided, q part BOARDED
the tram several mules back TO goH
| bic the money nnl jewelry as soon
as the train was te.escoped, the 9th
er part fired the bridge, and hid
near by to witness the awful slau III

board q tram that he knew would
be hurled into eternity thac he might
rob. Again. how could r.bOers tell
when a train would arrive that was

The Physicians have Found out.

The Physicians have Found out
That a communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indiges
ton, is the cause of rheamatisN. This
settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneoua
covering of the muscles and ligaments Of
the joints, causing constant and shifting
pain, and aggregating as a calcareous,
chaIky deposit which produces stiffness
and distortion of the joints. No fact which
experience has demonstrated in regard to
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters has stronger
evidence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine OF comprehensive uses
checks the formidI BILE and atrocious dis
ease. Nor is it less positively established
that it is pre- ferable to the poisons often
used to arrest it, since the medicine con
tains ouly salutary ingredients. 1t is also

stiPatiOn, dyspepsia, kidney and blad ter

CALLAWAY'S RETIREMENT.
What an Eastern Journal Says
of 1t.

When Mr.. S. R. Galloway retired
from the position of vice-president and
general manager of the Union Pacific
Railway, it was we'll understood in rail-
way circles that he would not remain
out of the service any longer than he
desired. Having declined offers of i'm
portant positions in order to take
rest, Mr.. Galloway went to Europe for
the summer, and although he has but
recently returned it is now announced
that he has been elected to and assumed
the presidency of the Toledo, st. Louis
& Kansas City Railway Company. This
company is to be congratulated on
securing so able and experienced an
executive, under whose charge It's pros
poets will be very encouraging. The
road now consists of line from
and it is not Impossible that
it may be extended to Kansas
CITY, Although built as narrow gauge
road, 250 miles of the line have been
changed to standard gauge, and the
work of widening the remainder is still
going and will ere long be completed.
As Mr.. Galloway has, like all other re-
firing railway officials, been the subject
of some criticism in respect to his man
agement of the Union Pacific, 1T is
proper in this connection to refer to the
fact that under his administration the
Union Pacific was greatly improved in
its physical condition. During the last
year an enormous amount of rail was
renewed, numerous iron bridges were
substituted for wood, heavy steel re-
placed light at an expense of nearly $25
per ton, which was charged against
operating expenses, and notWithsJand
ing all these extraordinary charges, the
company earned a handsome divi-
dend on its stock. The intimation
of extravaganza is one easily
and frequently made against railway
managers, and on this account the in
clination OF many is to avoid making
expenditures which will not rebound at
once to the increase of the revenue. 1t
takes patient and ar-sighted mansge-
ment to expend immense sums in i'm
proving the physical condition of
road, so that, while immediate returns
NAV not be seen, the net earnings in
term of years will be greater than they
would have been if less costly improve
ments had been made. 1t is often the
succeeding management that gets the
benefit Of the work done by its prede-
cessor, and it is but just to the many
able and successful managers who have
left roads just as the fruits of their
labor was beginning to be reaped that
these truths should not be lost sight of.
